Yeah dave, they are directional... but I swap the backs around (actually get them taken off the rims) and then swap the fronts around (taken off the rims again).

can u do that with different sized fronts and backs?

Dude, look at it this way... Outside number being the tyre, inside being the rim...

11 22

33 44

then when you get the tyres rotated, imagion the tyre COMES OFF THE RIM and on to the other sides rim. So you get your semi rotation done, it will then look like this...

21 21

43 43

Get it? Personally you shouldnt have to do this as your tyres should wear even, even with a full on set up, as it should be set up to your driving style so the tyres have even wear, as if they have even wear they are gripping the most they can most of the time...

Isn't that camber too though? mine are bald inside which is why I'm replacing them but it's because of the camber setup...they've been rotated already so the "outside" is pretty bald too.

Anyway I've got the day off today so I'm going to ring every tyre place in the phone book and get prices on yokos and anything else in my price range. When I'm done I'll post the best quote I got on here...it really makes a difference when the $$ are spread over 4 tyres - in the four or so phone calls I made so far the price difference in the yokos adds up to $140.

After I rang about 10 places the places I was ringing knew I was ringing around cos they were all asking the same supplier for prices on 225/45r17s hahah...I felt like the scummiest guy on earth arguing the price down an extra $5 per tyre but I'm getting them for $255 each fitted etc from Tyrepower @ the gap. Bit out of the way but they said it will only take an hour to fit and align so I'll just hang around and have a coffee or something...

I think the c.drives will be good, never heard a bad report and they're kind of between expensive and budget.

Any reason you chose the 225 over something wider?

Nah not really...just that it has 215s on it now...I wanted all four the same so I could rotate them a bit more easily than having to get them off the rims - can just use my uncle's hoist and get them off and rotate. Thought 235s might be a bit wide for the front.

Yeah with the potenzas I couldn't find S0-3s for under about $320...quite a bit too much $$ for me.

wat if I can get you SO3/DZ101/ST115 around $300-$350 per type.....

Too late thanks mate I already got the tyre place to order them. It's ok anyway, $300 is a bit much for me just now. Also I read a quick review in the newsagent of 18 tyres in Wheels this month. Potenzas topped most tests from memory, but the yokos still got overall score of 98 out of 100 (potenzas got like 98.6)

I think I'll be happy with these.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
